The 13 biggest ways your iPhone will change on September 19

Apple's annual update to its iPhone software is coming on
September 19.

Next Tuesday, Apple will release iOS 11 to everyone with a modern
iPhone, it announced Tuesday at the event where it unveiled its
latest iPhone.

iOS 11 will include new features, redesigned shortcuts, and a new
kind of software called ARKit that will enable the iPhone's
camera to integrate graphics into the real world.

Developers and early adopters have already been using the
software that will be powering the iPhone X. Business Insider has
testing iOS 11 for months. Here are the 13 biggest changes we've
found:

1. A redesigned Control Center lets you swipe up to find the settings you use most often, and now it's customizable.

2. Apple has changed the screenshot workflow, and now you can make screen-recording videos, too. Now screenshots go into the lower corner, and you can mark them up before sharing them. We used this feature to help put together this article.

This is what screenshots look like on an iPad.

3. There are a lot of Siri improvements in the latest version of iOS, but you'll first notice that its voice has changed to be more realistic.

4. Now you can ask Siri to translate to Chinese, Spanish, French, German, or Italian, too.
